Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
We use Qlik Sense to provide cross-functional reporting from our sales pipeline in O365 Dynamics CRM, work orders from Jira Service Desk, and contract/invoicing data from the billing system. The data is divided into multiple dimensions representing different sales areas, products, and on-boarding phases. Qlik Sense's ability to combine data from various sources has proven to be literally invaluable to us.
- Connectivity - the data can be sourced virtually from anywhere.
- Enrich-ability - sometimes you need add-on dimensions which would be really hard to implement in source systems. Add an excel file to the mix and voila - you have new dimension.
- Cloud ability - the old Qlik Sense Enterprise was in a way a blast from the past. The new SaaS edition is fresh, agile and although a little limited feature-wise in cofiguration, much simpler and easier to use.
- Linked reload tasks. Not yet implemented in SaaS version. We really miss this feature from the Enterprise edition.
- Private / public sheets has room for improvement. This feels like over-engineered feature. When you want to edit an app, you need to first make the sheets private before editing. At least there should be a possibility to opt for simpler developer experience.
- Custom domains.

- In comparison to what we had 4 years ago, we now have complete understanding of state of business, operations and sales.
Back in the day when we had to make a decision which tool to use for BI reporting, Qlik Sense's feature set with multiple data sources and open data model was the clear winner. Power BI has evolved a lot since then, and today the comparison might be a lot tighter.
